Details of your catches:

21 Fish Caught over the week.
3x40lb+ 7x30lb+ 6x20lb+ 5x16lb+
Biggest fish were 49lb.7 -43lb -42lb.7- 39lb -36lb.7 -35lb.9 -33lb x2 - 30lb.12 -30lb

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Far margin fishing from 8:30pm and letting the spots rest during the day, fishing different spots during daylight.
18mm and 20mm bottom baits with enough in the hopper to get a bite. Fed the margin spots at 5pm ready for bite time which was during the night.
Mix used was boilie crumb with pellets and 12mm boilie.
Used a bait boat and not the lake boat which created too much disturbance, although I did use this to land fish from Lilly pads.

Were the facilities what you expected?

For anglers this is exactly what I expected, however if you are with your family then I have recommended a few upgrades directly with Francois.
1- Better landing nets
2- change the plastic cups to proper cups
3- One from my wife - A teapot
4- we purchased a chopping board and left it there for others to use
5- Water filter to get rid of the brown colour.

Were you happy with them?

Yes I was happy with them, and Francois took my feedback in the spirit it was given.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Absolutely, the lake is beautiful and the fishing, although challenging at times, it very good.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Angling lines have been exceptional, looking after all my needs so I can focus on the Angling. Second to none as a company

General Comments:

This is a stunning lake with quality fish. If you work hard and use your knowledge and watercraft, the rewards are there. Francois and Jonathan are such great guys who stopped at nothing to ensure our stay was the best it could be. It was a pleasure to wake up to this lake every day for a week.
There’s a short video of our trip on youtube ‘The carp house North west France’ - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/mfONElTH6NU

*Angling Lines note* Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate it. Your comments have been noted, a new water filtration system has been ordered to improve water clarity.

*Update 28.05.26 - The new water filtration system has now been fitted and the landing nets have been replaced.*

Details of your catches:

23lb Mirror
18lb Common
26lb Mirror
46lb Mirror

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

20mm Sticky Krill Wafter. Quite a few snaggy spots, so definitely find your spots. Deeper water to the left worked best for us.

Were the facilities what you expected?

The mobile home was not what we expected after reading all the previous reviews. We did expect the property to be cleaner, and we did express our issues/concerns to Jonathan face to face.
As for the fishing, faultless.

Were you happy with them?

In terms of the mobile home. There were ants all over in every room, as well as the sofa and kitchen surfaces. Whilst we understand nature, we do feel more can be done in terms of cleanliness. The kitchen surfaces and dining table was also was covered in a lot dirt. The floors were sticky. We did find the mobile home to be somewhat lacking in facilities such as microwave, decent knife set and a work surface to prepare on. BBQ was also left dirty. There also needs to be more notice or explanation regarding the water. It's extremely brown and full of sediment. We were told to run the water for a while, but it didnt change. Hot water in the morning in the shower was also very hit and miss, but no issues in the evening. As for the fishing and lake itself, perfect.

All this is just constructive criticism as the lake is extremely tranquil and the surroundings is unbelievable.

*Angling Lines note* Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry the accommodation did not fully meet expectations during your stay - the owners have taken on board your feedback and put remedies in place. Ant control measures have now been put in and a new water filtration system has been ordered to improve water clarity, in the meantime guests are advised to run the water for a short period before use to allow the filter to properly kick in. Although there is no microwave there is a countertop oven and a gas hob for cooking - we have clarified the description. Regarding the hot water the owners have now added a notice to make it clear to guests that it will need to be turned on and allowed time to heat up before use, we apologise you were not made aware of this during your visit. Thank you again for the points raised.

*Update 28.05.26 - The new water filtration system has now been fitted.*

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

If it was cleaner and points were improved on then yes.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Angling Lines was amazing, and I would definitely book through yourselves again.

Brilliant week fishing at The Carp House in La Brûlatte, 24 carp caught. Conditions were good, lovely weather. The lake is beautiful, nestled in the woods and the facilities are all you need. Will be returning.
